This code should run fine? no?

boolean hsTile=mHand.IndexOf(tile)>=0; if(hsTile) { return true; } else { return false; }

ScrabblePlayer.java
public class ScrabblePlayer {
    private String mHand;

    public ScrabblePlayer() {
        mHand = "";
    }

    public String getHand() {
       return mHand;
    }

    public void addTile(char tile) {
        // Adds the tile to the hand of the player
      mHand+=tile;

    }

    public boolean hasTile(char tile) {
       boolean hsTile=mHand.IndexOf(tile)>=0;
      if(hsTile)
      {
        return true;
      }
      else
      {
       return false; 
      }
    }
}

You're doing fine! You just have a typo. The method you should use is indexOf not IndexOf. Note the capitalization of the "i". :sparkles:
